Love DrLourie and his officee team.He is a wonderful experienced surgeon. Dr Martin has done more lap bands and has an outstanding reputation

9 months since my surgery and have never once vomited, PB'd, or slimed. Down 70 pounds. Those things do not happen to everyone or as often as it may appear from reading the postings. I think it may seem to be more frequent, because when it happens, there are many questions or concerns posted. Just my perception.

It was my gift to myself for my 50th birthday!

They have been very helpful in ordering the way you request. Never had a proble eating healthy there-grill without butter. I can eat shrimp easy and it is low in calories. I just get tempted by their bisquits.

I live in southern CA. Surgery was covered under one insurance,but since changing jobs have a different insurance. I have paid $250 for 0.2cc cash in Pasadena. Now I have to decide if I want to have my fills in San Diego for $10 and drive the distance or continue to pay the $250 and continue with my surgeon, who I think is terrific!

Sorry that happened to you! I'm dealing with an ankle injury too and have not been able to do my spinning classes for last 4 weeks. What is helping is ice twice daily on the ankle, tylenol twice daily for inflamation, wraping ankle or wearing the ankle support to keep it less mobile. Have a great time on your vacation.

My advice is to go for the fill as soon as you can. You have nothing to be embarrassed about and nothing your surgeon hasn't seen before. Glad that you are now able to excerise again. You are back on your way. All the best.

Hi, this is my 1st post. I was banded 6/10/09 and am down 66 pounds. Best thing I have ever done for myself!
